Minor Procedure For Viney (Foot)

Foot and minor procedure don't really go hand in hand (foot in foot).

The procedure may be minor but the outcome rarely is.

Let's hope for the 2 weeks but I don't like the sound of that given he's had previous foot issues.

    Especially with the foot history that Viney has had to contend with.  Whatever it is, I just hope he controls his gungho-ness (or coaches control it for him) and plays when really ready. 

    We have plenty of inside mids to enable him to take all the time needed.

    Can just see this being a bigger issue. Soon enough we will hear he won’t do a pre season match. Then he will miss the first month of the season. Then it’ll be mid year. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, but we have seen this movie before

    I wonder if it was the same foot as his previous plantar fascia troubles?

    Hopefully this is getting ahead of an issue and we give him time to recover for once.
     

    The difference between a healthy Viney in 2020 and the one who hadn’t done a preseason in years in 2019 was chalk and cheese.

    It's a worry for sure given his history but at least its an area where we have good depth. Harmes or Jordan to step into the breach perhaps!

    Just making sure that he is right to go for the season proper. Leaves no stones unturned for having a minor procedure. The club would have said otherwise

    I wouldn't think it is an issue to  worry about.

    Particularly when it involves Viney.

    Hopefully our midfield depth, plus his relative security in the 22, will prevent anyone from feeling any need to rush his recovery process.

    I mean, what's the point of having a deep midfield if you can't use it to make sure everyone is managing their fitness and preparation to the best possible level.

    The old Viney foot injury strikes again.

    Look at all the usual sad sacks having a cry.

    I just wonder if he could be a brilliant back pocket for us. We have Harmes coming back into the midfield, Petracca taking more mniutes now, Sparrow coming along nicely and Jordon coming through.

    Missed 3 weeks with a similar problem in 2017 after attempting to play through it.

      Quote

    As reported in The Age, Josh Mahoney, football manager at Melbourne, when asked about Viney’s injury, noted that it “has been an injury that he has been carrying for the majority of the 2017 season. We expect his recovery from this operation to be approximately 4-6 weeks, based on how quickly his foot can be reloaded post-operation.” It is likely that Melbourne’s co-captain has been trying to manage the injury over the last 4-5 months, with the latest setback likely pushing it to around or beyond the 6 month mark.

    But then it threw out his foot and ankle for 2018, and then had him on a restricted preseason for 2019.

    So at some stage in 2017 he was in a similar predicament as this one and it cost him playing at his peak for 3 years.

    It's unlikely that happens again, but it can't exactly go down as nothing to worry about. 

    I hope this is a new medical team learning from previous mistakes and getting ahead of the problem.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
